Insane results this weekend. A bookmaker's dream. San Diego over Seattle? Bears winning in San Francisco? Much as I rate the Chargers (they've underachieved last couple of seasons) I really did not see that one coming.

Truth. Chargers played great...esp that final drive. I would have bet money that Wilson would have marched them down to get the go ahead TD with like :24 remaining...but I'm much happier I was wrong.

Not sure whether to be happy with the Niners/Kaep choking in their home opener or pissed that the Lions are tied with the Bears right now. Hmm...

Oi, Eli played pretty damn well but was let down by his team again. Soooo we're back to the old days 
Victor "I want the ball more" Cruz had I think 3-4 drops, the fumbles, the penalties, the huge return. Things were looking so good for a while. At least the offense was far better today and Manning was looking sharp and confident. Will remind us rest of the team isn't any good now!
Cleveland beats N'arlins

Jesus, Eli has to own the record for tipped ball picks. I can't imagine it's something he does to cause so many, but it can't be that much sh*t luck right?
That said, he's been pretty sharp so far. That 90 yard drive was great! Was nice to see him standing in the pocket and zipping it. Gotten so used to that deer in the headlights look recently  God I hope some confidence is building. Was great to see some big Cruz plays/catches and Randle makes the fade catch they love to do. I feel OK

I doubt it. Unless he goes to jail for several years I don't see his career ending here.

I was excited for last night's Pitt/Balimore game but it was a bit of a let down. Just didn't pack that same oomph we expect, I assume from a combo of flags every 5 seconds  and both teams being a bit down.
Not saying either will be bad, but not that same skull cracking, epic defense we've grown to love.
Though speaking of epic defense I am quite worried about this Cardinal game. Sadly I'll miss the Giants season home opener since I'll be in Pennsylvania ironically, but that offense has some real potency and that defense is scary!! Not just the line either, they are a team that still blitzes and are still good at it! Brought some major heat, and this may test our O Line even more than Detroit.
None of the games are tooooo appealing to me this weekend, guess hoping Philly loses is the only other I look forward to.

When I said smothering I meant at the line. Sure if you can give your QB good protection then you are in with a shout against their cornerbacks and safeties but they are just all over the opposition at the line and I think that will prove more difficult than it sounds.

Always good to see the steelers lose big.

Good start to the year for the Lions. Let's see if it lasts. |
Scott, I have your Lions as favourites for the NFC North, this is the year they will do it. They have an explosive offense and a smothering defense. I still can't forget that blowout of my Packers last season (for all the wrong reasons  ). After that they capitulated as they have been know to in the past, but with the new coach I have a feeling the Lions will go on this season. The Packers are so poor against the run. I am sure they will improve (fortunately they don't have to play Seattle every week  ) but unless Rodgers is beyond stellar this season I am a little worried.
The game in Detroit next weekend will be vital, I expect the Lions to be 2-0 and the Packers 1-1 before that so it is a crunch game even this early in the season. I will be watching that with fingers crossed but in all honesty fearing the worst. Good news is I will be able to watch it on your side of the pond whilst on holiday, always makes the game even better.

Promise I am done, I really do care more about football then the personal lives of these people, but just since we love to trash the NFL (this is not Balimore, but NFL so please start breathing Jody  )
As if there was any doubt to this: A law enforcement official tells AP they had sent a copy of the Ray Rice videotape to an NFL executive in April...
Like I said, it's all been FUBAR'd, maybe this is the straw that breaks the Goodell back, though I know this is wishful thinking  Really, how are we to believe the mighty NFL did not have access to a video TMZ (granted those bugging lil a****les that they are) got their hands on? Sad all around, especially that it happened to Rice.
Also I was wrong, Arizona is up next, not Houston sooooo we'll be 0-2 after all We all know this is dangerous to do given injuries and general craziness of the NFL but looking at the schedule, I really do forsee 6-8 wins. I'll grant a classic Giant upset win or two, but probably some of their classic WTF was that!? games, so should balance out. A lot depends on how the offense starts to gel and if our great on paper D translates to reality, I think it may. Thank god the NFC east sucks!

News coming out now that the NFL never asked the casino if they could view the tape.The police and Rice's lawyers requested it,but not the NFL.I am hoping this whole messy situation results in Goodell stepping down because he REALLY screwed this up.

ARI pulled it out...I only care because of a work pool pick and I was only 3 points off the total score as a tie breaker....hi-5 myself LOL!
Goodell should step down, the whole situation stinks from the NFL perspective and how he handled it. I don't know what laws exist where a video cannot be obtained by lawyers from both sides...but if TMZ got the video then apparently there are no such laws.
